In the interest of expediting the story a bit, can I get a list from everyone of what thuley would like to purchase / get upgraded?

Moira can go report in her results and I have to go back and recall what the reward for that was, if it was something immediate or unlocking something.

Sashura will be buying Splint Greaves and Scale Pauldrons; they can be upgraded to Fine.
She'll also sell her hand crossbow, iron bolts, and silver bolts (almost never used).
She'll also upgrade her leather chestplate to a Studded Leather chestplate.

Also upgrade Chelydra with a crossguard.

Reward was a full clip of the penetrating rounds, I believe.

Moira:
Purchase a Fine Full plate Gorget 140SP, add layered, 2 monster parts
(trade in Leather Gorget)
Upgrade current Light plate elbow guards to Fine.

Add Upgrade to Bearrage to be Ultralight, 200SP.

Lloyd would need to see if there's any reward for ending the Bandit menace before deciding if there's any upgrades or armor he can afford.

But he'd add Fine to:
* Studded Leather Long Coat
* Full plate Helm

I fear when we come across an enemy with Corrosion I, II, or III.

Oh, you're right. I could've used that durring the deciever fight, as her blades were glancing off its slashing resistance. Disregard reinforced blade in that case.

What trades are people thinking about going (for those Guilded among us)?

I'm debating between Sharpshooter and Trapper for Moira.

So, Up to good but not Advanced or Masterful Upgrades; got it.

I'm thinking Scholar is the way to go, for myself.

Scholar, Nice!

Gunmetal, I've been trying to understand the UR system.
Guild Items have a Usage Rating, or UR, which measures how
much experience and training is required to properly use the item. Players
do not need to roll to use Guild Items within their House or Trade, as it
is assumed they have received the proper training. When using a Guild Item
from a different House or Trade, players must roll equal to or above an
item's UR on the their Knowledge stat
I originally thought as long as you were in, say, the Scouting House, any of the non-Core Guild items was available for your use (assuming the right Rank) without UR roll. So an Adept Tracker, for example, could use the Sharpshooter's Stun Grenade, or Ranger's Smokestone. But on further readings of the rules I'm not so sure.

What is the proper interpretation?

What is the proper interpretation?
From page 30 in Gunmetal's link on Page 1, an Adept Tracker could equip with and use any non-restricted item in House of Scouting or any of the descendant trades (Sharpshooter, Ranger), but must make a Knowledge vs UR check if using something NOT in her specific trade or House.

So they could use the Sharpshooter's Stun Grenade or the Ranger's Smokestone, but they'd have to roll a Knowledge check vs UR to use them (same House, different Trade). If using Tracker gear, no rolls required.

Cannot equip any items from the other trades; but if you stumble across an item from another trade, could try to use it.

Like the Bruiser trade's Sharpstone - a Bruiser could equip and use it, no rolls required. A Guardian or Striker could equip with it, but would have to make a Knowledge vs UR 4 to get its effect (same house, different trades). No one else can equip it, but could use it if they ran across one.

Sharpstone is Striker, not Bruiser. Which is sad. But otherwise good example. I had made this mistake as well.

I know you posted ic for the armor, but I was looking for a list that includes thing you might need to go elsewhere for.

Sorry.
Sadly I'm broke, so nothing else for me, thanks.
